As soon as the workers left, Yuan Zhou washed his hands again and began to prepare the ingredients for dinner. He didn’t directly go to check the newly built warehouse.
After finishing the dinner time diligently and earnestly, Yuan Zhou washed his hands clean at once and then picked up his phone to transfer the money.
After the transfer, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up again.
Having changed into his sportswear again, Yuan Zhou directly handed the pub to Shen Min and then went to the newly built warehouse next to the pub, preparing to start tidying up.
As there were customers around, Yuan Zhou didn’t go there from the pub. Instead, he entered the warehouse from the front door.
As soon as the door opened, the scene inside came into view.
As Yuan Zhou had to assemble the bowl rack himself, the house still looked empty. However, a winding staircase still stood in the middle of the room.
The cement stairs were covered with a wooden floor, which matched the brownish-red color of the entire room. He could climb up the stairs to get the bowls and plates from the top of the bowl rack.
“It looks pretty good.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head contentedly. Then, he went directly to the hall on the first floor of the pub from the hidden door behind the stairs.
That’s right. From here, one could directly go to the hall on the first floor of the pub without going through the hall. In this way, the customers wouldn’t be affected and it was also convenient for Yuan Zhou to take the finished bowl rack and assemble it.
“This piece of wood is quite heavy.” Yuan Zhou wiped the sweat off his forehead.
It took Yuan Zhou six trips to move the five bowl racks.
The bowl holders made by Carpenter Lian were of course in the structure of mortise and tenon joints. The open-frame bowl holders looked very simple and there were no patterns carved on them.
Because the peacock pattern on the yellow Rosewood was already beautiful enough, it didn’t need any extra decoration.
Both the pillars and the horizontal boards between the bowl holders were mortises and tenons. After they were assembled, it was as if they were directly taken out of a complete giant piece of wood. It didn’t look like they had been assembled at all.
Even the peacock pattern was very coherent. This was because Carpenter Lian and Yuan Zhou had considered this point when they were making it. They especially made their patterns to be coherent.
Therefore, the entire bowl rack was very complete and beautiful.
“Peng Peng,” Yuan Zhou knocked the bowl rack lightly with a small hammer to test how firm it was.
After the five bowl holders were installed, Yuan Zhou carried the prepared bowls and plates over one by one.
The small floor was soon filled with piles of bowls and plates, as well as some small appliances.
“I didn’t expect that I could make so many bowls in just two years.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself.
Taking the soft cotton cloth, Yuan Zhou took out the wooden bowls and plates that had been dried and wiped them one by one. Then, he began to wipe them carefully both inside and outside.
The grease on the cotton cloth was light and tasteless. The grease was warm and moist, and the color was clear. Because the cotton cloth was soft, it was soaked with a little dip.
The oil used to wipe the dishes was also walnut oil, also known as the eastern olive oil. It was an excellent cooking oil, not to mention it was used to maintain wooden dishes.
It was also an excellent maintenance oil, which could effectively prevent all kinds of cracks, moisture, and other problems of the wood.
Yuan Zhou had also wiped the yellow rosewood bowl rack from head to toe with walnut oil a few days ago.
When he was working, Yuan Zhou was always meticulous and attentive. When he finished wiping them one by one, the pub time was also over.
Yuan Zhou put down the work in his hands and specially went to see Shen Min off before he came back to put the dishes on the table.
Another hour and twenty minutes had passed by the time all the plates and bowls had been placed neatly on the ground.
“Hmm, not bad. Every plate is very neat.” Yuan Zhou looked at the bowls, plates, and bowl holders that were arranged in a straight line with satisfaction.
“All that’s left now is for tomorrow night to come over and check on the situation of the dishes being contaminated with the fragrance.” Yuan Zhou clapped his hands and stood up.
“System, what do you think?” Yuan Zhou said.
The system displayed,[the seasonal mission has been completed. The host can check it now.]
“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head contentedly. Then, he carried the small barrel of oil and walked towards the restaurant from the secret door.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t open the mission until he washed his hands.
[Seasonal mission] there’s a time for cutlery too (completed)
(Mission tips: young man, there is a time limit for the ingredients and the tableware. Please arrange a room and place the tableware properly and clearly.)
[Mission reward] seasonal ingredients (released)
(Reward tips: young man, please take a good look. It’s seasonal ingredients, not seasonal vegetables!)
“I wonder if the reward today is crab? After all, the Golden autumn, September, and October are the seasons when crabs are the most delicious. ” Yuan Zhou started to search in the kitchen with great interest.
Speaking of which, there were more and more things in Yuan Zhou’s Kitchen. The labels on the surrounding cabinets had already been pasted on half of them, but some of them were still empty.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t panic at all when he was looking for it. He looked straight at the places without labels and inspected them one by one. When he found nothing, he began to look at the magical water tank again.
The water in the tank was so clear that the bottom could be seen. Both the river shrimp and the sea fish were well-behaved.
“It seems like it’s somewhere else, not in the shop.” Yuan Zhou got it. He directly went through the Sergestes wall landscape and went to the courtyard to look for it.
As expected, in the backyard of the tavern, there was a smaller pool beside the bluestone pool where the crayfish were placed.
The pool was only the size of a sink, but he could still see a Reed growing in it. Because the water was clear, he could even see the White and fat Reed sprouts at the bottom. The crab rewarded by the system was hiding in the reed Bush.
“I think this Reed sprout is edible too.” Yuan Zhou looked at it for quite a while and then said firmly.
It wasn’t that the Artemisia selengensis was scattered all over the ground and the reed sprouts were short. The reed sprouts were also a dish, especially in spring. The tender Reed sprouts were also excellent for scrambled eggs.
Although it wasn’t spring yet, the reeds provided by the system and the short Reed sprouts growing under them were still very fresh. Yuan Zhou concluded,””It should be edible.”
After Yuan Zhou said that, the atmosphere became very awkward for a moment. Even the crab that was hiding in the reed thicket jumped out to show its presence.
After a long while, the system silently displayed,””The seasonal reward is the Gu Shengfang crab. The host can cook it by himself.”
“Yes, I saw it. It’s a very fat crab.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
Even though he said that, Yuan Zhou still couldn’t help reaching out his hand to touch the reeds growing in the pond and then saying quietly,””It’s indeed quite tender. The crab meat stir-fried with Reed sprouts should taste good. ”
With regards to Yuan Zhou’s behavior, if the system had its own feelings, it would probably wipe off its sweat. Unfortunately, the system didn’t have any. Therefore, it could only hide it silently.
“Oh right, if it’s Shengfang crab, then why is it called ancient Shengfang crab?” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the system’s words and asked doubtfully.
The system displayed,[Shengfang crabs of this century have long since died out, and the remaining ones are no longer as delicious as they were in the past. The seasonal crabs provided by the system are cultivated from crab species in ancient times.]
“Fine, another destructive delicacy.” Yuan Zhou sighed.
